STARTLING DISCLOSURES.

BALTIMORE, Oct.3.-Four hundred
names of illegal voters were stricken
from the registration list OF a single
ward in this city Saturday by Chief
Judge Brown. The Citizen Reform
League has been granted permission
by the courts to examine the poll
books and registration lists aud
their lawyers are busy in every ward.
They have found a thousand cases
Tor the court to act upon. The bevi-
sdence produced by the League in
every case results in the name being
stricken off. The names Of men who
have been dead for ten or fifteen
years are regularly voted on. A
gentleman who has been absent from
Baltimore for some years and was
never registered or voted in Baltl-
more, was surprised when told in
court yesterday that his name was
on the poll books, and he has been
regularly voted ever since he bad
been citizen of Baltimore. Six il.
legal votes from a single residence
were discovered yesterday.

: Sharks in the Bahamas.

* The sharks are not inviting, but there
is tradition that they do not take kind
ly to black flesh. Indeed, it is hard to
find proof that they NEEDLE with hui
man flesh of any color, in spite of such
veracious stories as that with which the
Duke of Edinburgh was entertained
when here. According to this account a
boat carrying five men was upset off the
coast and nothing more was seen Of its
occupants until shark was captured,
within whose proper receptacle were
slowed away five human skeletons, neat
ly arranged in row. Clinging to the
breast bone of the man eater was the
silver watch carried by the former occu-
pant of one of these skeletons-still go

AN 0LD-FASHI0NED GIRL.

Old.fashioned ? Yes, ! must confess
The antique pattern of her dress, 500
The ancient frills and furbelows,
The faded ribbons and the bows.
Why she should show those shrunkei

That wrinkled neck, those tawny arms.

Round her spare form hangs loosely
down;
Her voice is thin and cracked her eye
And smile have lost their witchery.
But those faint jests, that tagging wit.
But each attenuated curl,
She surely is. / must admit,
An odd old fashioned girl.
IT'S long, long since she had beau,
And now with those who sit Arrow
Along the wall she takes her place,
With something of the old-tlme grace.
She yearns to join the may waltz,
And slyly shifts her smelling-sal
All, many an angel in disguise aa.e
May walk before our human eyes! ~
Where 'er the fever-smitten lie
In grimy haunts of poverty, ~
Along the dark and squalid street,
Mid drunken jests of boor and churl,
She goes with swift and plying feet
This same old-fashioned girl.

Delights Of Army Life.

Notwithstanding what few to the con-
trary there would be on such subject,
there is no entertainmentwhich can COM
pare to that of an army post. No hop
room can be SO fascinating as one draped
in the long, heavy flags which always
form the chief decoration. There is no
music as delightful as that of trained
military band, and no citizens dress suit
ever made could hold its own against the
blue uniform and white stripes of the
officers full dress. No woman in the
army is ever wall flower. No matter
how old she is, whether married or sin
gle, she always has the best dancers in
the room ask her for one dance at least,
and if she is pretty and attractive she is
as much of belle as in the palmiest days
of her girlhood. That is said to be one
of the compeusations of army life, and
delightful one it is to be sure. One hears
great deal about the drawbacks and
privations of army life, but I fail to
sympathize with the croakers. I looked
around the pretty parlor of one of the
most charming women have ever met,
the wife of the adjutant, at her card
party Last week, and wondered how a
/. room could be made any more delightful
In civil life. To be sure, taste, goes a
long way, and all may not have it in
such degree, but her dainty little cabi-
nets, her rugs, her pictures and books,
her guitar, her exquisite vases and bric-a-
brac, made that room most attractive
background for the gay, homelike COM
pany assembled there, with herself for a
fascinating centerpiece.-E Paso Cor.

Honest labor is the nursery of the
virtue and integrity of the State.
Upon it the state lives. Even the
parveneus draw their physical sus-
tenance from the value which labor
creates. They live and breathe and
preserve their being from the toll of
the working classes, without rarely
ever returning an equivalent in any
form. Labor is the great substra,
tum upon which society is founded.
1t is the lever that moves the world.
Yet the drones and butterflies of the
community who toll not neither do
they spin, affect superiority over
the laboring classes, whether farm
ers, mechanics or common workmen,
and only descend from their lofty
pretensions when they can make a
point for themselves by manifesting

Strong Meat. but Juiceless.

As rule, there is as little zest in the
perusal In printed sermons as there is in
the mere recollection of last summers
peaches. Their luscious flavor may not
be canned. It takes the momentous oc-
casion, the sympathetic audience, the
reused attention, the. pealing, pulsating
voice, the animated form, the fire and
soulpower of the speaker--an to make
the powerfully impressive discourse, and
often to print a sermon, no matter how
popular it may have been upon delivery,
is but to give it a black coffin, in which
1t will be hurried, with all other dead
things, to dust and ashes. 1t is curious
fact that, in all time, hardly dozen pull
pit orators have succeeded in producing
sermons which any considerable number
of people would read. No wonder, for,
indeed, they are generally rather dry
dishes; strong meat, may be, but juiceless
and without any gravy.-Globe-D Demo-

A New. Cereal Discovered.

According to supplementary bulletin
Of information from the Royal gardens,
Kew, that establishment has just i'm
ported a new cereal for study and exam
nation. The new cereal is Abyssinian
teff, the grain from which, In its several
varieties, the Abyssinians make their
bread. 1t may be spelt .'tthef," but this
is needless addition to the pain of liv-
ing. One of its advantages is that it
may be cultivated with ease at height
of 5000 or 1000 feet above the sea level,
where corn and maize can hardly thrive
This would make it well suited for our
bill stations in India, and for parts of our
colonial empire similarly situated as to
altitude. 1t comes to maturity in -four
months, yields forty times its volume of
seed, and, in the best variety, makes a
white, delicious bread The coarser kinds
grow more quickly, but are much less
agreeable to the palate. Bruce mentions
count of it In other books.
Yet till the other day Kew, and APP
parently Europe, was without grain of
1t. Great efforts were made to supply
this deficiency. The Royal gardens wrote
to the foreign Office, the foreign Office
wrote to Cairo, the italian consul general
there wrote to the officer commanding
the Italian troops at Massowah, and finally
two sacks Of teff, red and white, found
their way to Kew from Africa. The con-
signment was accompanied by an invalu
able note on the cultivation from M.
Coulbeaux, ''missionaire apostolique en-
Abyssinie.' So now nothing stands be-
tween Kew and a teff tea cake but the
few months required for the cultivation.

A Prosperous People.

On the island of st. George, Alaska,
where $4,000 seals are annually taken,
$4,000 is divided among the natives
each season. A first class share Last
season amounted to $525. When It IL
taken into consideration that besides this
cash paid for services rendered by each
sealer every native family on the island
has a comfortable home, with fuel, lights,
medical attendance and schooling free OF
charge, it will not seem an exaggeration
to claim for these hyperboreas state Of
life which it would be hard il not i'm
possible to improve. With such adj
vantages over his fellow Aleuts 1t is
hardly to be wondered at that the seal
islander should consider himself triie
better than his poorer cousins. Great is

laska when dusly hero Of the bloody
fields of st. George or st. Paul arrives on
one of the company's steamers in search
of wife. In affairs of this kind the

Wolves Near Rome.

It Is a long, time since the reward for
killing a wolf in the plain has been
claimed at the capitol in Rome, but the
custom of bestowing such reward is, it
appears, in full force when it can be
legitimately claimed. A shepherd in the
neighborhood of the Ire Fontane, the
well known Trappist monastery, very
short distance from Rome, saw several
wolves the other day prowling near his
flock, having been driven down, un-
doubtedly, by the immense quantities of
snow that have fallen on the hills sur
rounding the Campagna. Although
alone, he bravely gave chase to the
animals, and succeeded in killing one,
which he afterward brought in to the
capital. where the usual reward of 100f.
was at once paid him. Had it been a
female he would have received 1907.
1t is many years since such an incident
has taken place.-Rone Cor. London

Tn. Depth of Initiative rsrady.

Queerer still than the 0aterpillars
which pretend to be leaves or flowers for
the sake of protection are those truly di-
abolical and perfdious Brazilian spiders
which, as Mr.. Bates observed, are bril-
liantly colored with crimson and purple,
but ''double themselves up at the base
of leaf stalks, so as to resemble flower
buds, and thus deceive the insects upon
which they prey" There is something
hideously wicked and cruel in this lowest
depth of initiative infany. A flower
bud is something so innocent and child
like; and to disguise oneself as such for
purposes of murder and rapine argues
the final abyss of arachnoid per6dy. It
reminds one Of that charming and ami
able young lady in Mr.. Robert Louis
Stevenson's s'Dynamiter, who amused
herself in moments Of temporary gayety
by blowing up inhabited houses, inmates
and all, out Of pure ightness of heart
and girlish frivolity. An Indian mantis
or praying insect, o little less wicked,
though no less cruel than the spiders,
deceives the flies who come to his arms
under the false pretense of being quiet
leaf, upon which they may light in safety
for rest and refreshment. Yet another
abandoned member Of the same family,
relying boldly upon the resources Of trop-
ical nature, gets itself up as complete
orchid, the head and fangs being nodded
in the exact image of the beautiful bios
som, and the arms folding treacherously
around the unhappy insect which ven-
lures to seek for honey In its deceptive
jaw.-Cornhill Magazine.

Less Doctor and more cook.

The culinary art, says Careme, is the
escort of European diplomacy. Your
diplomat is the most refined appreciator
of good dinner. A great diplomat sin
cerely DESTROYS of serving his country
should have a renowned cook and keep
up good house; he should therefore be
highly paid by his government, for en-
bassies are the universities in which our
youthful nobility study diplomacy and
gastronomy. He was at daggers drawn
with doctors in general. A good cook is
the best physician, said he, and so the
doctor is always speaking i'll of the cook,
that he may maintain his own influence
over the wealthy patient, who, if he
leads loose life, should trust to the skill
of his cook rather than to the false words
of his interested physician, who prolongs
his illness through speculation. Saturday

The Pilots Of New York.

The pilots Of New York bay and Boston
harbor are sometimes met with from 100
to 200 miles from the land. They are
cruising about in the track of incoming
steamers, and almost always appear in
ample season to offer their services. But
if no pilot comes, the ship lies outside
the harbor and signals for one. The
corps on the pilot boat have regular turns,
and the pilot to whose lot this vessel falls
Is rowed out to her.
He is bound to answer the signal by
day or by night, in sunshine or in the
fiercest storm. Nothing but the absolute
certainty that the boat cannot live in the
sea running between him and the vessel
will release him from his obligation.

A Kind Hearted ouartes.


There were four ladies once went 6sh-
ing. They selected very rainy day,
and they had all their waterproof cloais
and head and feet covering. They were
all by themselves when they took o boat
and went to fish. 1t was in Maine. With
true feminine earnestness they started of
without anything to put the fish in. They
had an elegant time until they caught a
pickerel. When they caught the pickerel
they didn't know what to do with it. 1t
was alive and Topping. They had it in
the bottom of the boat. They wondered
why it didn't lie quiet. At last happy
and benign thought struck one Of them.
Poor thing! It's getting all wet Iy-
ing in the rain"
And she whipped of her waterproof
and wrapped it up in 1t. Each OF the
four caught pickerel, and each Of the
four wrapped it up in her waterproof and
the rain wet them through to the skin.
but they kept their fish dry all the same.
